Now, we "buy in" and they manipulate the price we pay at will, invisibly.Įven if we all go along with this, they should be aware that _we know_ what they are doing to us.
#Where to purchase adobe photoshop cc upgrade
If we don't upgrade (or skip one), we can use the program we purchased, and its older features. Up until now, we could look at their price, or their "upgrade special offer" and decide whether to continue or upgrade. This is the end of having any say in what Adobe sets in terms of pricing!! This is a horrible thing for Adobe to do to all of us.Įven if you / we all join The Cloud - we should go kicking and screaming! They will be slipped in to our monthly payments after the introductory "special" period. We see through their camouflage, and we know this is being done just to allow "no limitations" in their future pricing - because price increases will almost appear invisible to us. They are packaging "extra" add-ons and giving us a "great deal." One which we cannot pass up. I have CS6 - as I said, I have been a loyal purchaser of Photoshop since the first.īut we need to let Adobe know that we DO NOT WANT THIS (and tell them that we will never be OK with this), and that we see through their ploy. (Quick math solution: $29.99 X 12 = $359.88 PER YEAR, EVERY YEAR! And this is not capped, so the upward monthly price is unlimited!)Īlthough I love the products, I don't want to pay another gouging cable or satellite company!Īnd Adobe, could you please, please continue to offer our "old-style" purchasing of new versions of Photoshop? And where does it stop? Do you think it stops at $29.99? I just read about a student who signed up last year for the "introductory" CC pricing for students, and now his price is going up to $29.99 per month, after just one year. "If you put a frog into a pot of cold water and slowly bring it to a boil, he will just sit there and boil - because the discomfort change is so slow, he'll hardly notice it, until he is thoroughly cooked!"Īnd once we have all signed up and are comfortable in our plan, Adobe wants us to forget that we are (almost invisibly to us) paying each month - while the price goes up and up each year. Like Woody Allen said (my paraphrasing, sorry):
#Where to purchase adobe photoshop cc tv
This is just like the cable and satellite TV companies, they surreptitiously raise the monthly price, until you are paying INSANE amounts. (Updates for bug fixes should not be delayed, however.) I am pleased to wait for a year for new features.
I do not want or need the Cloud, Storage, or Collaborative "features" that are the hallmark of the CC releases. The $9.99 / month special offer becomes $19.99 or $29.99 after a year (or much more - it is completely at Adobe's discretion how high it goes). (That is clearly stated in their "Terms.") Adobe's "special discount introductory offer" goes to the "current price" after the first year.
Although Adobe is offering great "discounts" on the Creative Cloud versions, they will absolutely raise the price each year. I cannot go along with the Creative Cloud only option. Please, could we just continue to purchase our programs, Adobe?
